I finally finished Elisa’s Nest Tote this past Sunday night. After sitting for 2 months, I found out that the handles were easier than I thought. It was knit with Patagonia Nature Cotton by Araucania, which has a thick and thin texture. It’s 100% cotton. I’ve already used my bag, twice, too. It easily held my detergent bottle and my latest Debbie Macomber book, for a trip to the laundromat with a big quilt. Emily and I also took it to the grocery store! The pattern for the nest tote is from Purlbee.
Dots within Stripes is the name of the Mid-April 2008 KAL for the monthly dishcloth group. It’s a pattern from Knitting on the Net. I’m thinking this one would look pretty in lots of different color combinations!
Oh yeah. It’s still cold out and supposed to get down into the 30′s tonight. Oh joy.
Jasmine’s delicates looked less red and swollen today. She also isn’t scooting and licking down there anymore, too, so I’m guessing it all feels better. I’m glad we took her in yesterday.
Love the tote bag. I have to make one of those soon.

Hi Dawn,
Thanks for the compliments on my knitting! I can see you are QUITE the knitter too! I LOVE the string bag you made and washcloths are one of my favorite things to make as well!
Are you on Ravelry yet? It’s a FACEBOOK sort of site for knitters and crocheters!
I have bookmarked your blog and will enjoy seeing your future projects!
Hi Dawn. Hope you’re doing well. Those are lovely. I like the nice bag you made.
Take care.
I love your cloth color combo! The wavy thing that you commented about on my blog is from the Knitty Lizard Ridge pattern. It’s an addicting pattern. I finished another block this afternoon….
Wednesday I was searching for blogs that were related to Organic Grocery Bags and specifically cotton grocery bag. I found your site and appreciate the content greenwithenvyorganics . com
help! I am having a hard time with the part that happens between the bag and the handles. I don’t understand what it is telling me to do!
